The Pennsylvania Ballet will finally meet its audience live and in-person at the Cherry Street Pier. Philadelphia’s premiere classical dance company performs on the former industrial pier, now an open-air art and dining destination, twice this month: on Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. Both performances are free.
The dance is part of “Spread Your Wings,” a public installation of dance and visual art made in collaboration with Mural Arts Philadelphia. For a month, the pier will be outfitted with extensive visual art, including large-scale photography, video, and a 15’x17’ mural suspended from the ceiling.

Sierra Griffith s dedication to dance is leading her to prestigious places. .
Griffith, an honor roll sophomore at General McLane High School, has dreamed of becoming a prima ballerina since she was 4 years old. The rigorous regimen set forth by her drive for excellence requires fierce dedication to the art she loves: the graceful beauty of leaps and twirls that coordinate to create a fusion of balance, elegance and power.
Her workday typically begins at 7 a.m. and runs until 8:30 p.m. when she settles into some free time reconnecting with friends and family before retiring for the night. She spends about five hours a day in ballet practice, which includes Pilates and stretching, and about four hours on schoolwork, which involves virtual classes, meetings with teachers and homework.
